Of the 9,000 or so bird species recorded, about 300 are parrots. With their often dazzling colours and a great ability to mimic, they are among the most popular of all birds kept in aviculture. In spite of this, no single volume to date has attempted to bring together an authoritative text and a complete photographic record in colour of all the different species in aviculture. This was the challenge that excited world expert and renowned author, Rosemary Low, and bird photographers, Ron and Val Moat. Together they have created the definitive identification guide to over 220 parrot species in aviculture. For each bird there is a superb colour photograph alongside precise and informative text.

Seller: Last Exit Books, Charlottesville, VA, U.S.A.
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Hardcover. 8vo. Blandford Press, London, UK. 1992. 288 pgs. Illustrated throughout. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. The purpose of this book, as titled, is to exist as a photo reference guide. I have found it to be nearly perfectly sufficient. It covers the majority of species kept in captivity, including rarer birds, but there was a noticeable lack in some places, such as in regard to several species missing from the section "Parrotlets", which is peculiar because the guide is extensive yet the missing species of parrotlets have been kept in captivity since before the date of publication. The pictures themselves are acceptable, though some tones such as orange are washed out. For each species profile the book provides a color photograph with the following information: length, weight, origin, status, aviculture, accommodation, diet, clutch size, incubation, young in nest, sexual dimorphism, etc. , etc. , etc. Mrs Low has been a prolific author who has produced several species specific books for birds like macaws, caiques, lories and others. If the reader requires detailed information that would be the place to look rather than this text. It is important to note that this covers parrots in aviculture, not obscure birds that are kept wild like the kakapo--it is not a field guide. EB; 9.4 X 6.5 X 1.4 inches; 288 pages.
